Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 12:42 am I bought a small lot of 10 world doubled dies, and this was one of them! I'm pretty sure this is 1972P-1DO-002, but want confirmation before labeling it. There was also a 1972D-1DO-001 in the lot that is just as pretty! I'll post that one a little later.

Ricardocody Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 01:14 am To me looks a DDO but let's see the pros opinion ! Can I ask you how much did cost this lot you are talking about ?And any info like where and how it works I ll be very grateful ?! Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 01:29 am There's no question that this is a DDO. It's just a matter of which one. If this is die #002, I got the entire lot for about half the value of this coin. As for how it works, it just boils down to developing fair and trusting relationships with other coin people and a little word of mouth. A lot of my friends, colleagues and co-workers know that I buy coins. So, a lot of times, it's someone that knows someone that has coins for me to look at and give them a fair and honest offer. In this case, a dealer I do business with knows I collect varieties and set them aside for me. I'm sure if he were selling a lot of incomplete planchets, he would have offered them to someone else.

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 01:50 am It's all about the networking brother! And for what it's worth, I gave him his asking price and didn't ask him to come down. Report this Post to the Staff

Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 07:29 am I'm torn between #2 & #7...do you have any close ups of the date ? Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 03/03/2011 08:34 am Scooby: First, congrats on the purchase! Regarding the 72 /ddo-002- Also, look for the die gouge on the bust next to the shoulder. My 72-002 has this die gouge. That's how I got mine correct. Check coppercoins for the pic. Hope you got it!

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/04/2011 01:49 am Hopefully, these images are a little better. I'm not seeing the die scratch as seen on coppercoins for die #002, but I am seeing a scratch a little further up the bust, coming out of the top of the lowest glowing area.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2011 02:09 am There are a die dot that matches on both coins. Look below the 2 on both images. It is SW of the upper loop. You can see that die dot on both images. So it is 002. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/04/2011 03:41 am Thanks coop! Are those die dots above the 7 & 2, also? They would be just out of the picture at coppercoins, if they are. Report this Post to the Staff
